I have todate undertaken 40 sparrow flights and only needed to repair one helicopter, I was able to repair it quickly, because of Repair Base H (Level One). So far, so good.

You are exceeding lucky. Mine breakdown every other flight!

Same here. Need repairs probably every in the rage on every 5-10 flight.

I think I'm more in the 5 flight range, however, since speeding up the repair simply takes one of the flight items, its a non-issue... even if I were out of all items, it wouldnt take more than 2m40 to make the speed up item. Really very easy and simple. Almost seems a waste to offer me 15 mins to fix it.

Now that I have spoken about it, it may not last.

Sounds like you have had a bad run of luck with your helicopters. hope things improve.

all will be good, maybe train better pilots

No, just build better helicopters

Why you do not build Repairs for Helicopters?

Why you do not build Repairs for Helicopters?

No room for the repair facility. Just drop the broken sparrow and buy a new one for 300 coins.
It would be different for the crossbill because it costs so much more.

 

[Teboho]

The fact that I can manufacture parts as and when needed is a bonus, I didn't even see the need to track the breakdown rate as I can have items ready and the helicopter will be in the air in under 5 minutes.

You need to get a room for Repairs. It cost is not so high, and you are actually producing all parts for repair, so any helicopter will be repaired in a second. Better to put any other building in Warehouse the to be without Repairs for Helicopters and buying them whenever they broke.

My great luck with my small fleet of sparrow helicopters continues with 50 completed flights and just two broken helicopters, quickly repaired.

Do not know if this is the same for all, I have noticed all my completed helicopter flights are also being counted as part of the daily mission completed flights.

Noticed the same as well, this is an equaliser of sorts.

I'm pleased I'm not the only one, hope it is the same for others.

yes, same here. it has made the daily missions a bit easier to attain , when required to make 30 flights.
Also if you speed up a helicopter using H Fuel it counts as one of the "speed up flights with fuel" .
I have done 21 fast returns from Lake Baikal and Snowdonia so far today to try and get my Daily Mission bonus! 9 more to go..
Even if the heli is a minute or 2 away from landing, its worth speeding it up ( I think! ) to try and reach the target

That's what I did as soon as I realised that too.

I tended not to pay too much attention to the daily missions, but as you have said, it does make completing the daily missions a little easier now.
